    About the property

    67/5 Lorne Street represents an ideal home for first-time buyers, city professionals, small families, and buy-to-let investors alike.

    Accessed by a secure communal entrance and stairwell, the flat’s front door opens into a welcoming hall with a convenient cloak cupboard before leading into the living/dining room. Here, a generous footprint is brightly illuminated in natural light from a south-facing window. The room provides deep storage, a display cupboard, and ample proportions for comfy lounge and dining furniture. A sliding door leads into the neighbouring kitchen, which is enveloped in olive-toned tiling and fitted with timber-fronted cabinets and complementary worktops. The cleverly designed space incorporates appliances. The two double bedrooms are on the opposite side of the hall. The first bedroom, with a shelved recess and period cornicing, is displayed in pale straw tones with soft carpeting, whilst the second bedroom is presented with varnished floorboards and soothing sky-blue décor. A handy box room, with a bespoke cabin bed, offers excellent versatility for creative use. Finally, a bright three-piece bathroom with classic tongue and groove panelling completes the home. An efficient gas central heating system and double-glazed windows ensure year-round comfort.

    Outside, there is a delightful garden for communal use and ample, unrestricted on-street parking.

    Leith has been voted as one of the best places to live in the UK, by The Times in 2019. Lying within walking distance of the city centre, Leith itself enjoys an outstanding range of shops, restaurants, cafés, and trendy coffee houses. It neighbours the Shore area, with  its fashionable bars and award-winning eateries. The bustling shopping area around Leith Walk is complemented by Ocean Terminal shopping centre. Leith boasts a thriving arts scene, giving the area its bohemian reputation. It hosts the annual Leith and Mela Festivals and is home to Out of the Blue Drill Hall, hosting wonderful art, makers and exhibition space with a café and year-round events. Leith is home to the recently reopened Leith Theatre and the Leith School of Art. The area, although in walking distance of the city centre, boasts an excellent transport network, with the tram line (currently in construction) leading from Leith Walk all the way to the airport.
